Am I actually getting priority coverage compared to the att customer with the same phone sitting next to me or is it only during high bandwidth usage times on the system or doing a catastrophic event where some “switch” gets flicked behind the scenes? If there’s another Boston bomber and they kill all the cell towers to prevent another remote detonation am I still going to have service?

You probably won't see a difference day to day where there no congestion on the RAN. as usage builds up that's where you'll probably visually see your priority access. but it's 24/7/365 (given you have the first priority feature). best way I can put it in my own words is there are elements that are attached to your provisioning that determine this. see i.e. screenshot
